There are 23,078 students now enrolled on the Lawrence campus, 482 more than last year. University of Kansas College of Health Sciences in Kansas City, Kan., have 2,103 students enrolled, 267 more than last year. The School of Law has $17.
There are 16,321 full-time students
KU had an increase of 382 from 20,202 in spring 1979 to 20,848 in full-time education. The equivalency is reached by adding the number of credit hours taken on the Lawrence campus and dividing that total by the number of courses offered by a full-time student. During the fall, these statistics are used as the basis for budget requests. Spring totals are not

Berlin sees campaigning at White House meeting
By SUSAN SCHOENMAKER
A White House conference attended by more than 250 student leaders smacked slightly of politics, Margaret Berlin, former学生 body president, said yesterday.
Berin attended the Washington, D.C., conference last Friday. She and other student leaders met with President Jimmy Gates to discuss the security al-ayat, Zhuowen Brzezinski.
Berlin said she was suspicious of Carter's motive in extending invitations to four Kansas schools.
"We just happen to be having a presidential primary in April," she said. "My personal reaction to the conference there was an element of campaigning."
Berlin compared the number of invitations received by Kansas schools to the number received by schools in neighboring Ohio and Pennsylvania. State University, Pittsburgh State University, Emporia State University and the University of Kansas were invited, but only two universities received.
"I don't think the forum was very open to student opinion." Berlin said. "It wasn't a forum where student opinions were meant to influence policy."
She said the time allotted for student questioning of speakers was minimal. Brezinski spoke for 40 minutes and left only 10 minutes for questioning.
Even though student opinions were not heavily solicited, some student opinion was swaved. Berlin said.
"I think a lot of students were overwhelmed by being in the same room as the President of the United States," Berlin said. "I think it won a lot of sumo."
Berlin said Carter was applauded for nearly three minutes after he was introduced to the student leaders.
"I don't think student leaders are easily flattered or swayed by attention," she said. "But Carter's statements may have contested the difference between registration and draft."
Berlin said the conference "turned into a forum for draft issues." She said Carter drew the line between registration and draft issues, which were given in the East Room of the White House.
Carter said registration would "make the draft more avoidable." because it would convince the Soviet Union that Americans were willing to take a harder line.

the conference sparked controversy at one invited university. Students at the University of Pennsylvania were used of student government funds for "political bribery" by the Carter ad-
Transportation expenses for Berlin's trip were financed through the office of David Amblei, vice掌舵er for student affairs. Berlin said the expenses, which totaled $268, were not Senate-funded because of a bylaw prohibiting the funding of student leader trips.
Videotaping guidelines proposed
By BILL MENEZES Staff Reporter
Videotaping of events at the University of Kansas should stop according to a report issued yesterday by the Human Relations Society, University. Senate executive committee.
The committee compiled information for the report last fall to explore the consequences of videotaping on free expression and suggest alternatives or guidelines for
The report examined videotaping of crowds at athletic events, pre-scheduled University-sponsored speaking events or public performances. The University-sponsored events on campus.
Although the report states that the committee "strongly recommends that all students recognize the University's legal right to videotape any public event. Therefore, the university should have a videotape policy."
THE COMMITTEE said videotaping should be considered only for demonstrations where a "potential for violence" existed. They recommended the formation
of a standing committee to determine the potential for violence and to suggest precautionary measures, such as videotaping.
The committee would comprise the police, the chairman, the chief of KU police, the University general counsel, the director of KU affirmative action and the student body.
Forer shuns press; wants little publicity

Norman Forer, associate professor of social welfare, is back from Iran again, but he doesn't want to talk about his trip.
ANY TAPES not used by the University as evidence in criminal cases, must be provided to the report said Copies of the videotaping record should be sent monthly to the committee that ordered them.
The report sets down several guidelines for police if the committee recommends videotaping.
Forer yesterday cited past problems with inaccurate reporting, saying that "everything that's printed here gets back to Iran
... the students here are in virtual daily contact with Iran."
Forer said an instance of inaccurate reporting led to the cancellation of a week of talks during his first trip to Iran in December.
Forer has made two trips to Iran in the last three months. On the first trip he was accompanied by Clarence Dillingham, instructor in social welfare.
Another of the 49 delegates, the Rev. Darrell Ruppel of Oranua, Neb., said that the president should be forced to guilt for the "buses of the past 25 years" in Iran, the Americans "could be held there for a long time."
On the latest trip, Forer and Muriel Paul, lawsuite counsel from the U.S., met the American-Francian Crisis Resolution Committee on a mission to help normalize relations between the two countries.
Members of the committee met with officials of the ruling Revolutionary Council and militant students holding the hostages, and were allowed to see two of the hostages.
The Rev. Jack Bremer, executive director of Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread St., also went to Iran.
"It's really irrelevant whether people in Lawrence know what I'm up to. What's revelant to me is that I be left alone," he said.
To that end, Forer said, he decided not to talk to the local press.
FOREER SAID yesterday that he needed a "quiet base in which to work" and that he would like to be "nice and quiet and invisible here in Laurence."
Forer said local reporters might attempt

"I'm involved in an international conflict, not what people here or there think," he said.
FORER ALSO said that during his first trip to Iran his family received threatening and obscene phone calls. He said he feared that the country might not be responsive, can give它 some kind of kook.
Forer said he felt no responsibility to let KU students know what his delegation had accomplished.
Forer has criticized more than the press, however, since his return. He says "the stuff that's coming out of the U.N. is viewed by the people in Iran as just folly," particularly the five-member commission that has been invited to investigate charges against the former shah.
My political role doesn't extend from my role as a teacher," he said. "If Lawrence doesn't get first-hand news, it's no big deal."
The panel, approved by both the United States and Iran, was expected to leave for Tehran in a few days, although there was no word on when it might brunch about the hostages.
A spokesman for the Moslem militants at the embassy told the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri that there was "no need for it to investigate the crimes of the former sham."
He said, "Ayatollah Ruballah Khoumene and the Iranian people are still demanding the extradition of the shah and the return of their sons" before the hostages would be released.
"The United Nations' efforts to break the impasse by appointing a five-member commission to probe Iran'sGWences is an U.S. plot being persecuted through U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim," the statement says in a dispatch mounted in Tokyo.
In Washington, State Department officials said the diplomatic plan for release was "on track," but with no firm timetable.
Waldheim was quoted by a Vienna newspaper as saying the hostages would be released "in the course of the commission's work." The German government has received the agreement of the two sides.35
KU nursing home project decried
Staff Renorter
Angered by what she calls the devastating effect a KU program on had Cherry Manor Convalescent Center, a local actist helps projects like KU community projects from Kansas nursing homes.
By ANN SHIELDS
The activist, Petey Cerf, president of Kanans for the Improvement of Nursing Homes, said yesterday she would write Chancellor Arche R. Dykes about the problems caused by a project of the kind of human development and family life.
The department's year-long study began in 1978 at Cherry Manor and was called the Big Board project, according to Louise Leon, a registered nurse who worked for the nursing home. Leon said the project involved communication between nurses and their aides.
Todd Risley, professor of human development and family life, said the board made the home more efficient by showing each aide what he needed to do.
"Previous research in child care showed
that young children develop well when
they
The project included a bulletin board, which outlined aides' schedules and relayed their assignments on slips of paper.
But Cerf disagreed.
However, Dan Ward, a KU graduate student in human development and family life and administrator of Samartian Lodge, will be helping护理 homes improve their care.
“It’s unconscionable,” she said, “that KU should be involved in a program that does not operate in the public good.
"It is up to the individual nursing homes to decide whether KU or anyone else should be admitted for research and development of research and development of new procedures needs to be reviewed, and KU needs to be reviewed."
"I feel sure the chancellor would not want it like this; I'm sure he doesn't know about it."
"Nursing homes are plagued with chronic problems," he said, "and anyone who has an idea should have a crack at solving them.
"You had to spend 20 minutes before that big board trying to find someone because you really had no right to just ask anyone," she said.
proved by KU officials in October. Under these guidelines, University police have the right to videotape any public event and use the tape for criminal prosecution.
Leon said previous projects, such as a KU nutrition study, were just nuisances, but the Big Board project destroyed the morale of the staff.
"We never came close to having the staff to use such a systematic program," she said.
"It was a totally non-human approach to human problems," she said.
And when an aide did not come to work, the system fell apart. she said.
Leon said that because the KU consultants thought staff meetings were inefficient, nurses had to rely on the board.
"The program was so bad that we knew it would burn itself out," she said, "but by the time it did, it burned us out."
The interim guidelines also state that videotapes used in in-prosecutions will be erased, that none of the tapes will be used for police training purposes, that any taping will be done in an open, non-secretive manner, and that videotape will be exercised with discretion.
"The staff became completely demoralized from the mechanization. In the end, there was no idealism and almost no hope.
Jim DENny, director of KU police, sai videodating had been used only once or twice since the beginning of the fall semester.
"We were told that it was a wonderful project that would revolutionize our care and put Cherry Manor on the map.
"But it was only one of those academic paper projects that might have looked interesting but had no relation to reality."
Leon said she resented having people with no medical experience tell her how to do her job.
She said it was too early to tell whether there would be any opposition to the recommendations.
He said the tapes could not be used and were erased.
Human Relations Committee chairman Nona Tolson said the report would be printed in its final form and presented to SexEn within a couple of weeks.
"It felt like a foreign occupation," she said.
However Risley said, "Anytime you put a new structure in, people think it means additional work."
Leon also blamed the Cherry Manor administration for some of the problems. Two former nurses, Karin Krause and Eleni O'Connor, also have criticized the directors.
In compiling the report, the Human Relations Committee consulted representatives from University administration, the KU police department, the American College of Physicians, the Student Rights Council and Kansas Attorney General Robert Stephen.
Leon said that when the number of patients dropped and the staff reached an effective level, the administrators would fire workers.
Good nurses were not given raises to encourage them to stay, she said.
"When they lost good nurses, I don't think they cared," she said.
CURRENTLY, THE University operates under interim videotaping guidelines ad-
But Ward said he had worked with the director of nursing to develop work attendance incentives and better hiring procedures.
Offbeat pianist
David Burge, guest pianist for the 1975 Symposium of Contemporary Music, accepts the applause of the audience in Swarthout Recital Hall. Burge performed last night, using a variety of musical techniques, including strumming the strings inside the piano with a glass rod.
Visiting musician challenges tradition

The Pulitzer Prize-winning music of composer George grumb is one of the instruments. Musicians, he says, often are called upon to don masks, speak or shout out, or play them on stage.
Crumb is a guest artist, along with piano David Burge, of the 1980 KU Symposium of Contemporary Music. The program also featured formed during the symposium assemble.
His music, innovative in its use of theatrics, has challenged traditional definitions of music.
"One of the reasons Crumb is great is that sensitive music lovers are attuned to what he does."
Charles Hog, professor of music theory and chairman of the symposium, said music was redefined every time a composer wrote a musical piece.
LAST NIGHT, Burge performed Crumb's "Makrokosmos, Volume II" in a recital at Swarthout Recital Hall.
"When a composer does something that is validated by a mass of listening people," Haq said, "music is redefined.
The piece, a three-part examination of the zodiac, requires the pianist to stroke the strings and re-read the words of the piano. Burge's recording of the 1973 composition was nominated for a Grammy.
"Some theatrical aspects have been added to this chamber music piece," Hoag said. "It's organized to present the story, but must be careless lost he destroy the shell."
Voice of the Whale)" will be performed in a concert at 8:00 tonight in Swarthout.
Hoag said the piece included a parody of the opening strains of "Also Spracc Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss.
The "Vox Balaance" performers, John Boulton and Edward Laund, associate professors of music performance, and Ann O'Bryan, Lawrence special student in piano, will wear masks and play instruments in blue stage lighting.
LAUT WILL perform Crumb's "Sonata for Solo Violoncello" in a 2:30 recital Wednesday afternoon in Swarathout.
Crum's "Eleven Echoes of Autumn, 1863," performed by Michael Kimberling and Joan Winters, for performance, violin; Vicki Burkhard, Manhattan graduate student, alto flute; Michael Mackay, associate professor; Reber, associate professors of music performance, will be at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
"Crumb's music appeals to a very broad base of people," Hoag said, "not just to people with classical training in music.
"One thing is certain, his music is a very high form of art."
